Hitomi and Van- Fateful Destiny
Hitomi
was sitting at home, doing some homework. Becoming re-adjusted to normal life
had been tricky, as she didn't need to worry about Zaibach, or whether
Dilandau would try to kill her one day. But the hardest thing to adjust to was
not seeing Van everyday. She had taken his love for granted while she was with
him, and hadn't seen the pangs of jealousy in Van's eyes while she tried to
get a certain knight of caeli's attention. She only realized she loved him
when it was time for her to leave. "I'm so stupid…I could have stayed with
him, I could've been happy. But no…I had to be a dumbass and come back
here." Hitomi yelled at herself. In her mind she saw Van's smiling face
every now an then, but it wasn't the same.
Sighing,
and stopping the essay she was working on, Hitomi walked over to her dresser and
pulled out a rolled up cloth. Sitting on her bed, she unrolled it, to reveal a
large, pure while silky feather. She gently picked it up and cradled it against
her cheek, remembering all the good times she had with Van. Remembering when
they had first met, when he showed her his wings…and when they had departed.
This feather had been from one of Van's angelic draconian wings. Letting her
tears fall from her eyes she wept silently. "Oh Van…"She whispered. She
thought coming back here was the right thing to do, although her heart told her
otherwise. She found Earth much less exciting compared to Gaea, and seemed
strange and unfamiliar, like she didn't belong on Earth anymore. Wherever Van
was, that would be where she belonged.
Van was
outside, leaning against a tree beside a lake. He picked up a small stone, and
lazily tossed it into the calm, mirrored watery depths. Heaving a heavy sigh, he
glanced up at the Mystic Moon, the place Hitomi called "Earth". The place
where Hitomi lived. Van found himself staring at it for over an hour. "Who am
I kidding? Hitomi's back where she belongs…she's happy. That's all that
matters to me…isn't it?" Van knew he was torturing himself. He knew that
Hitomi should be with him, in Gaea. "Hitomi, I though I meant something to
you." Van whispered to the air with hurt in his voice. Van had her pendant
around his neck, with his fingers clasped tightly around it. Not realizing what
he was saying, he murmured, "I wish you were here Hitomi…if you hadn't
left, I would have told you I love you." Van sighed lying on the grass, not
noticing the blue column of light beginning to form.
AAAH!!!
Sorry for such a short chapter.... I promise I'll add to it if I get some good
reviews on it so far...
